White Clover and CRABGRASS!!! They pretty much leave everything else alone. I've done this for several years now.

Actually, I don't have to plant the crabgrass, it just comes.

I read about this deterrent "technique" in the gardening section of the paper. It's obviously for people who enjoy watching the bunnies. Bunnies are looking for water as well as nutrients. Same with squirrels, when they go after your tomatoes.

My backyard is, of course, not socially "correct" , but it's a backyard, not a front yard.
